He's playing defense, expecting more volatility. It's really a holding company with businesses in real estate (Choice Properties REIT), the bakery and Loblaw. Very stable. This is a cheap way to play Loblaw, which has had a good run lately. Loblaw shareholders received shares of Weston and have been selling them. This has opened a 13% discount to its fair value. Price momentum is its only knock, but he sees a catch-up trade here. (Analysts’ price target is $110.59)

They just bought Choice Properties reit from Loblaw in a complicated deal. This creates a lot of cash flow that will likely go towards M&A.

This is basically owned by the Weston family, who has a long time horizon. In the longer term the stock will do okay. It is a well operated company, but does not have the growth profile they look for to invest in.

He usually invests in small-to-midcap companies, but he likes this one and owns a small position. The price has been dropping and he sees this as a good entry point. They have a lot of excess capital, which he expects them to deploy in the back half of the year. His guess is they will expand financial services -- PC Financial -- rather than retail. They have been growing PC Financial and he expects an acquisition in that space.
